“Sharon Merrill Advisors has been essential to the Rigetti leadership and communications teams as we navigated transitioning from a private to a public company and beyond. SMA was instrumental in helping Rigetti go public during a particularly challenging year in the capital markets. Throughout this process, SMA worked with us and our bankers to build a database of prospects, set up investor meetings, and provide invaluable strategic counsel. SMA also helped us craft core messaging, garner coverage, secure conference speaking roles, and run sophisticated and targeted investor outreach. We received crucial support from their team in building out our quarterly earnings process, establishing our disclosure practices, and holding our inaugural Investor Day. I highly recommend partnering with SMA for your investor relations and capital market coaching needs.”
